FIND YOUR CERTIFIED SKIPPER WITH CAPT'N BOAT!

GlobeSailor Crew How to prepare for your charter

Who prepares the boat, takes care of sailing and navigation, ensures safety on board and advises you on land calls? It is... The skipper! This crew member who makes your cruise possible. Usually, when you charter a boat with a skipper, it is the owner who is in charge of finding the most competent person. Today, it is you who takes the helm thanks to Capt'n Boat. By putting yachtsmen and professional skippers in touch, the site offers a unique service!

Embark with the skipper of your choice!

To make sure your cruise is under the best guidance, the search for a good skipper is not to be taken lightly. Capt'n Boat, the young company created in 2018, has made it its mission to put holidaymakers in touch with experienced skippers/captains. Ease, serenity and safety are what the new platform offers. A small revolution in the boat rental sector: you can now select and exchange with your skipper before your departure!

How does it work?

Whether you have already set off on a cruise with a qualified skipper or whether this is your first time boarding, the apprehensions remain the same: will the skipper be part of the crew? Will the skipper adapt to our sailing desires? Will they be willing to teach us the basics of sailing? Capt'n Boat puts an end to your questions! We present you our new offer in 3 words:

1. Ease

2 options are available to you to find your skipper:

  1. Let your GlobeSailor adviser find a skipper for you

Give them your cruising programme (let them know if you would rather learn how to sail or if you would prefer to sail from island to island...), details about your crew, languages spoken, etc. They will find you the skipper who will make your cruise a success. After all, a holiday is also about taking care of nothing, isn't it?
  2. Find the profile that suits you
    Nothing could be simpler!
